America's top-ranking military officer found himself at odds Tuesday with the nation’s commander-in-chief over his claim that the Islamic State was "contained" - an assertion President Obama had made before the Paris terror attacks. Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave a dim assessment when asked during a House Armed Services Committee hearing whether that's the case. "We have not contained ISIL currently," Dunford told Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va. The answer runs counter to the claim made by Obama last month in an ABC News interview when asked about the status of the anti-ISIS campaign.

Well, everyone misunderstood the president. He merely meant they were contained, on earth. There’s no escaping.
To: OwenKellogg
I’ve been in the same room as General Dunford, but have not met him.
His contradiction of the CINC’s claim that ISIS is contained will lead to a very short tenure.
He will quickly gain the attention of Donald Trump who has been actively hinting that General “Mad Dog” Mattis (USMC Retired) may be on his short list.
Go Trump! Go America!

Presumably the General has already finalized his retirement plans...with all the “t’s” crossed and “i’s” dotted.

The general said ISIL was not contained. Obama was talking about ISIS./s

Yeah, with millions a week from Iraq oil money, how could you say contained. Hell, with Trump's money they can't even contain him.
They will just have to be delusional.
